Leaktest 2009

These are the videos I took of me leak testing the computer and battery tube. FAIL!!!!

Computer tube:
2 clamps per side
Result: Mixed. I did not witness any air/water leaks while it was at the bottom. It was down there for a good 20-30 minutes. However, I could not get it up. Someone was kind enough to go down and bring the tube up. Once the tube came up, one of the clamps was off and the tube was half flooded.

Battery Tube:
No clamps, 1 O-ring per side
Result: Failure. I had it down for <1 minute before I had to bring it up again. One of the side had collapsed and the tube was flooded.
